Our Members

Members of the STEM Funders Network are foundations and businesses who share our mission and vision, invest in STEM as a core focus area of their philanthropy and provide STEM funding in the U.S. It is currently comprised of a diverse mix of nearly 30 private and corporate foundations who are working together to increase the knowledge and expertise of grantmakers investing in STEM, leverage their collective resources and collaborate on high-impact projects they could not undertake alone.
